I wanted my floats to affect the DIV’s that they are contained in, so I applied \<br class=“clear” /\> judiciously everywhere. I see that they are not working in IE6 or IE7.

```auto

.clear { 
	height: 1%; 
	padding: 0; 
	margin: 0; 
	clear: both;
}

```

The 1st picture is IE and the 2nd picture is FF:
